OVM future?

Hi Users,

Will OVM still continue with new feature additions and releases (as UVM EA came in market) or it won’t be any more versions of OVM with new additional features?

What is the future plan from cadence and mentor for OVM support and development?

Regards,
Akki

There are no further OVM enhancements coming from the Cadence side. We are putting all of our energy and resources into UVM 1.0 as we drive toward a release this year. Of course, Incisive will still be able to run the OVM and we will maintain it in support of existing projects, but all new technology will be put toward UVM.

Thanks a lot Adam

Mentor continues to support the OVM and continues to provide minor bug-fix updates with new Questa releases. (we still have AVM users out there too being supported)
